VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
How often must I charge the batteries?
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all
day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.
Daily Use
If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are fi nished using your power
chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that
you charge the batteries at least 8 to 14 hours after daily use. Pride recommends that you charge the batteries
for an additional 4 hours after the battery charger indicates that charging is complete.
Infrequent Use
If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once
per week for at least 24 hours.
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Refer to the manual
supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. Pride recommends charging your batteries for at
least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery performance and battery life.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, fl at, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or curves. More
often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of
these factors will affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining
the maximum range per charge:
Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip.
Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.
Limit baggage weight to essential items.
Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.
Pride recommends charging your batteries for at least 48 continuous hours once per month to improve battery
performance and battery life.
What type of batteries should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle
batteries that are similar in performance. Refer to the specifi cations for more information regarding the batteries
used with your power chair.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries
to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmi-
um (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifi cally designed to provide power,
drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. AGM and Gel-Cell batteries should be
charged as often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium batteries.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specifi c
demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping,
the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may infl uence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from
the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with
a car battery).
